Chapter 8 - Season 2 episode 2: The perfect body

The next morning Sin woke up to the sound of the prison alarm. He sat up, rubbing his eyes. His body ached from the beating he had taken the previous day, but he ignored the pain. He looked at the picture he had hung up, a reminder of his past life. A life he had chosen to leave behind. Teddy was still asleep, his face peaceful and his snores were slow and silent. Sin looked at him, his mind filled with questions. How had a young boy like Teddy ended up in a place like this? What had led him down this path? But he knew better than to ask.

He walked to the bathroom and cleaned his face. He then noticed something in the mirror. His perfect body that was only once bruised from Alex (See season 1 TNT) was now covered in bruises and marks from yesterday's encounter. "What the hell?" He then raised his leg and attempted an invisible kick but he was literally incapable, it was as if it never existed. "No, no, no this can't be happening." He said to himself in panic. "The perfect body is…rejecting me?!"

A yawn was heard from behind him. "Oh hey, roomie, I thought you already went to breakfast. "Whoa, those are some gnarly bruises." Teddy added with a chuckle. Sin stayed quiet as always. "Well, you should take a shower, you stink." Teddy laughed and walked out causing Sin to sniff himself. "Jeez I do stink." He muttered and gathered his other prison suit and walked to the showers. "Shit." He muttered upon seeing Travis's gang (aka the scarface gang) and they were all naked and gathered around Teddy and the gang. "Oh shit, it's superman guys!" Bobby; the second in command said and walked up to Sin who wiped his body down with soap and his towel. Whimpers, grunts ,and moans were heard from behind the two what seemed to be from Teddy. "You hear that? That's the sound of power that we have around here, and anyone who disagrees with that power turns out just like that twink Teddy." Bobby chuckled and touched Sin's hair. "Maybe you can replace him." Sin smacked Bobby's hand and turned to face him. "Don't touch me." He said, staring him down with his pitched black eyes staring him down. Bobby stared back trying to show he's not scared but he nervously backed up and Sin walked out of the shower with a towel headed to his room to dry off.

Sin punched the wall, frustrated at all the events that's been happening to him. "What the hell? Ever since I got these damn eyes my life has been shit." He said and glanced under Teddy's pillow and saw a shank. "What if…?" He grabbed the shank and looked at him. Before he was able to do what he was planning, a guard came to his room and he quickly hid the shank under Teddy's pillow. "Sin, you got a visitor." The guard said while reading a clipboard and walking to the next cell. "A visitor?" He asked himself and walked downstairs and sat down in front of none other than Casey. He had a bandage over his right eye, and body wraps show beneath his tank top. Sin was somewhat surprised to See Casey, especially after the incident. "Orange was never your color." Casey said with a chuckle but Sin just stayed quiet. "Is that a black eye?" Casey reached to touch it and Sin flinched back. "Your perfect body never bruises." Casey said, his voice cracking from tears starting to form in his eyes. "I'm done for Alex." Sin muttered. "My perfect body is rejecting me, there's a kid here who looks up to me and is being taken advantage of but I can't save him. Without the perfect body I'm nothing." After he said that Casey slapped him. "Don't you dare let those words slip out of your mouth." Tears fell out of Casey's eyes as he spoke. "The perfect body isn't rejecting you, you're rejecting yourself, nobody is to blame but you, I came here to talk to you, the others gave up on you, and you say this bullshit?!" He stood up and wiped his tears while walking away.

Tears fell from Sin's face and he put his head down. "What's wrong with me?" He murmured then heard laughter behind him. "Casey, wait I love you!" Bobby mocked, causing the gang to laugh. Sin's heart sank as he heard the cruel laughter echoing through the room. His frustration turned into seething anger, fueling a fire within him. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and turned around to face Bobby and his gang with a steely gaze. The room fell into an eerie silence as Sin's presence commanded attention.

"Enough!" Sin's voice boomed, filled with a newfound determination. "You think you can mock me? You think you can laugh at my pain? Well, let me tell you something, Bobby. I may not have the perfect body anymore, but I still have something far more powerful." He ran at the gang and jumped high in the air and began spinning to execute a spin kick. "This is dangerous!" Bobby said with a nervous expression.

As Sin was about to kick, he felt a great amount of pain and yelled. "AHH!" He fell on the ground and clutched his body in pain. "Or not?" Bobby chuckled and the gang walked over him ignoring him. Sin started crying and covered his eyes. "Where did he go? The Count Chocula I knew?" Teddy choked out and wiped his tears before walking to his cell.

"You're really pathetic aren't you?" A voice was heard inside Sin's head and he opened his eyes to see a dark figure with the same eyes as his. "Who are you?!" He sat up and backed up into a wall. "I'm you, except I'm the version who takes advantage of that perfect body of yours whenever you go into Ultra Instinct." The body explained with a chuckle. "So, you're the one who ruined my life." Sin said in a surprisingly calm voice and curled up into a ball.

"You can't blame me for that, I just drew out your 100% in both mind and body in tandem with absolute focus and improved visual acuity. You did the rest on your own. Now until you've shown me that you're even worthy of the perfect body, I'm gonna slowly take it away from you, leaving you hopeless and depressed until you start begging for it back." The figure said and disappeared with a echoed chuckle. "Shit, what this feeling, my body is burning up." He breathed heavily and clutched his heart as it started burning.
